Are you or your family one of the 100? There are only a few left - make your mark! Join us for a monkey painting party where we will discuss the story behind the project and inspire your Creative Spirit to come forth and be personified on your monkey character canvas. |

The Fruition Tree project began in 2006, during the third year of Urban Renaissance. Its continued growth through 2007 at Children’s Festival and Okanagan School of the Arts Creative Community Week has resulted in leaves made by individuals from as far away as New Zealand, Ireland, Germany and the Southern United States. The bulk of the ‘foliage’ has been created by local residents and the 3D form of the tree itself is also growing in layers of metal, wire, fabric, ribbon and other fibres. The idea is to gather a expression of our creative community coming to fruition in Penticton through the collection and of individually created leaves placed on the tree. Come to this session to create your leaf and assist the fruition of the creative community of Penticton. |
